Criteria Set for Gauging State Manager Efficiency

Senior managers at state companies can review proposed key performance indicators, or KPIs, for the quality of their work, which have been published on the website of the Federal Property Management Agency, a news report said Thursday.

President Vladimir Putin authorized the development of KPIs for senior managers of state companies during the economic forum in St. Petersburg in July.

The efficiency of state managers should be measured against their companies' capitalization and the size of dividend payments to their shareholders, Vedomosti said.

For public companies, the agency proposes to calculate total shareholders return, or TSR, which depends on dividend return and how the share price changes.

The efficiency assessment of non-publicly traded companies should be based on the comparison of the current size of dividends with their average size over a three-year period.

Another important key performance indicator beside TSR proposed by the Federal Property Management Agency is profitability of invested or shareholder capital.

The total weight of the two main indicators in determining overall efficiency should be at least 30 percent. The remaining two indicators should be chosen from a set of five possible ones by a company's managers or board members.

A state company's board of directors should approve KPIs every year for a three-year period, and can propose more ambitious goals.

Efficiency indicators will be calculated by a company's management based on its development strategy and the current market dynamics, the agency said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
